Tehran admits for the first time the difficulty of accessing fissile stockpiles after the June bombings, while the West fears a transfer of the material
Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium is believed to be “under the rubble” of nuclear sites bombed by Israel and the United States during the 12-day blitz last June. This was stated by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on state television, marking the first official admission of the material’s location.
Stocks at risk and international fears
Araghchi explained that the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation is “assessing whether these stocks are accessible or not”. Among the main Western concerns is the fate of some 408 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, a level close to that used for military purposes, whose fate remains uncertain after the raids on the Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan facilities.
IAEA inspections halted
After the attacks, Tehran suspended its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, preventing the United Nations from verifying the damage to the nuclear programme and the current location of the stockpiles.
Hypotheses of transfer and imminent sanctions
Diplomats and analysts do not rule out that Iran moved some of the material before the bombings, despite US President Donald Trump talking about a “destroyed” programme. Meanwhile, Iran faces a deadline set by the European powers: by the end of the month, it risks the restoration of international sanctions.
